The spelling on her tombstone is without the 'e', and that is how I initially spelled it on this web site. However, some old mortgage documents with her signature show it spelled with an 'e' on the end. While in Iowa for the reunion I checked birth records at the court house. The book had a completely different spelling--'Isabel'. She spelled it both with and without an 'e' in correspondence to me, but with two 'l's. So, what it boils down to is that there is no definitive spelling.)
